Were they given loaded pagers? I don't get it.

I;m pondering a combination of the two. An explosive with a separate receiver for simultaneous explosion, but something had to provide the heat to trigger the fuse, unless the explosive/receiver also had another gadget attached that overheated the battery. Relying on all the batteries to overheat simultaneously doesn't make sense as each battery has different strengths and weaknesses, just like car batteries (not all Teslas catch on fire simultaneously)
A signal, to a device loaded with explosives, then.
Each pager would have a different ID, and the Israeli's would have to know each ID to ping them independently, which is complicated. It'd be easier to have 1 signal to ping them all at once, to the same receiver in each pager.
